While still managing to find some humor in the whole thing, on Tuesday Stephen Colbert brought up the widespread protests against the war in Gaza at colleges across America during his monologue.
“The Late Show” host didn’t join the many media personalities condemning the students protesting, instead asserting that so long as they’re peaceful, “it’s their First Amendment right.” He did mock the way university leaders are handling the protests however, quipping that they are using the “classic de-escalation tactic of sending in heavily armed police.”
Across the country university leaders have started cracking down on student protests against the war in Gaza.
